Father's Day: A Photographic Celebration Of Parenthood In The Animal Kingdom

Father’s Day – a day in observance of all the father figures and the contribution they make to the children in their lives. Where you find yourself in the world determines when you celebrate Father’s Day, but most countries celebrate this day on the third Sunday in June.

We don’t know if the animal kingdom celebrates Father’s Day too, but we thought they deserve the recognition for all their hard work! We searched wide and far to bring you some of the best captures of fatherhood in the animal kingdom! Here’s to all the furry, clawed or feathered dads!

“There is nothing that moves a loving father’s soul quite like his child’s cry.”Joni Eareckson Tada

These special creatures sure give new meaning to fatherhood. Help us conserve these proud daddies, their families and habitats for future generations to come! To get more information about animal care volunteer programs abroad, click here!
